The Game Developers Conference is where the game dev community comes together to learn, connect, and build their careers–but it's also a place to have fun! GDC Arcade Play features over a dozen classic games to play and enjoy between those sessions.
GDC Arcade Play is curated by the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (MADE) in Oakland, and features their community partner Civic Design Studios. It's a community space dedicated to giving GDC attendees a spot to relax, chat, and check out some incredible games that helped shape the industry.
